Netherworld Haunted House at Georgia Antique & Design Center
Beginning this weekend, the award-winning haunted attraction Netherworld scares up another year of frights. It’s celebrating its 15th year in the boo business with some new themes. The Nightmares, Netherworld’s main haunted attraction, stars a cast of ghoulish gargoyles that can shape-shift into just about anything. They’ll be going up against a cast of equally eerie characters including vampires and zombies. Venture into Netherworld’s basement for Raw Meat, its second on-site haunt. There you’ll find a runaway train, a barrage of insects, cannibals, sewer-dwelling gators and more.
7-11 p.m. Sundays and all dates in September and November; 7 p.m.-midnight Fridays and Saturdays in October and Oct. 31; 7:30-11 p.m. Mon.-Thurs. $22 for The Nightmares; $28 for The Nightmares and Raw Meat; $50 speed pass includes both attractions with no waiting.
